Here are some of the top questions we’re gotten about choosing a pet door for an especially large animal.
Most dog doors you can install yourself, even if it’s for a big dog. Our installation instructions cover our various models. For a non-standard door or wall, consider professional installation.
A big dog door can be installed in a wood or metal door, garage door, or interior wall of nearly every type and thickness. Hale gives you different wall unit thickness choices.
Of course. Choose a pet door size that ensures the comfort of your largest animal and any special considerations they may have. A senior dog may need a bit more room.
